“…Individuals with higher levels of willingness to take a rapid test may have higher levels of intent to avoid being infected by COVID-19. This finding echoes prior evidence in the relationship between willingness to get influenza vaccinated and diagnostic testing [ 52 ]. Therefore, willingness to take a rapid test is a good predictor of COVID-19 vaccination uptake willingness.…”

To control the spread of the novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), COVID-19 vaccination has been quickly developed. However, the COVID-19 pandemic will not be controlled if the COVID-19 vaccination uptake willingness is low. Therefore, the study aim was to explore the COVID-19 vaccination uptake willingness among the outpatient population and healthcare workers in Taiwan during the worldwide pandemic period without community outbreaks. A cross-sectional survey was conducted among healthcare workers (HCWs; n = 500; mean age = 32.96 years) of National Cheng Kung University Hospital (NCKUH) and outpatients (n = 238; mean age = 34.43 years) arriving at NCKUH. We used an online survey conducted between September 24 and 21 November 2020, for healthcare workers, and between 27 October and 31 December 2020, for the outpatient sample. Information regarding willingness to receive vaccination, willingness to rapid test, fear of COVID-19, risk perception, and preventive behaviors was collected in both samples; information regarding willingness to care for patients was collected in healthcare workers. Willingness to receive vaccination was the main variable in the present study; willingness to rapid test, willingness to care for patients, fear of COVID-19, risk perception, and preventive behaviors were the secondary variables in the study. The factors associated with vaccination willingness were identified through logistic regression analysis. The participants’ willingness to receive vaccination was low for both healthcare workers (23.4%) and the outpatient sample (30.7%). Similarly, their willingness to take rapid tests was low (23.6% for healthcare workers and 28.6% for outpatient sample). Risk perception (crude odds ratio (COR) = 1.29; 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.03, 1.63), willingness to take rapid test (COR = 9.24; 95% CI = 5.76, 14.83), and preventive COVID-19 infection behaviors (COR = 2.32; 95% CI = 1.52, 3.56) were significant factors explaining the healthcare workers’ willingness to receive vaccination. Willingness to take a rapid test (COR = 8.91; 95% CI = 4.71, 16.87) and preventive COVID-19 infection behaviors (COR = 1.69; 95% CI = 1.09, 2.60) were significant factors explaining the outpatient sample’s willingness to receive vaccination. Willingness to vaccinate against COVID-19 among HCWs and outpatients is low due to the relatively safe status of COVID-19 infection in Taiwan. These findings can help policymakers advocate for the effectiveness of and provide transparent information on COVID-19 vaccination uptake in a country/region with a relatively safe COVID-19 outbreak status.

“…Interestingly, our multifaceted intervention significantly increased influenza vaccination uptake whereas half of the participants reported being previously vaccinated against influenza. We previously found that history of seasonal influenza vaccination was associated with willingness to be vaccinated [ 25 ]. Participants in our study were not previously vaccinated against pneumococcal and therefore might be less prone to vaccination.…”

Objectives. We aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a multifaceted procedure in improving pneumococcal and influenza vaccinations 6 months after an emergency department (ED) visit among patients aged 65 years and older. Methods. We conducted a cluster-randomized, controlled, parallel-group, open-label implementation trial in 18 EDs in France and Monaco. Participants were recruited from November 2015 to September 2016. EDs were randomly assigned with a 1:1 ratio to provide either a multifaceted procedure that combined structured information about pneumococcal and influenza vaccines and three text message reminders sent to patients every two weeks (intervention arm) or nonstructured information only (control arm). The outcomes were self-reported pneumococcal vaccination and influenza vaccination rates within 6 months of enrollment. Results. A total of 9 EDs were randomized to the intervention arm (n = 780 patients) and 9 to the control arm (n = 695 patients). The median age for all enrolled patients was 74 years (25–75th percentiles, 69 to 82): 50.1% were male, 34.9% had at least one underlying condition, and 30.7% were at risk for invasive pneumococcal infection. In the intention-to-treat analysis, the multifaceted intervention did not alter the pneumococcal vaccination rate (6.4% versus 4.6%, absolute difference: 1.8; 95% CI: [−0.9 to 4.4]; p = 0.19), whereas it improved the influenza vaccination rate (52.1% versus 40.0%, absolute difference: 12.1; 95% CI: [2.4 to 21.8]; p = 0.01). At 12 months, mortality did not differ between the intervention (9.7%) and control (11.2%) arms (p = 0.35). Conclusions. A multifaceted intervention based on text message reminders provides an opportunity to increase anti-influenza vaccination among elderly patients visiting the ED. Efforts are warranted to provide better information on pneumococcal diseases and the benefits of pneumococcal vaccines, especially in the elderly.

To examine the therapeutic efficacy of Lianhua Qingwen granule combined with peramivir sodium chloride injection in treating influenza and level changes of serum inflammatory factors. The clinical data of 100 influenza sufferers enrolled in our infirmary from January 2018 to January 2020 retrospectively analyzed and they were randomized in the contrast group (n=50) and the experience group (n=50). The former was provided with peramivir sodium chloride injection, while the latter was medicated with Lianhua Qingwen granule after peramivir sodium chloride injection. The clinical efficacy, serum inflammatory factor, C-reactive protein, interleukin-6 level and procalcitonin level of both groups of sufferers were compared. The overall response rate of the injected group was 80 %, lower compared with 96 % of the injected and medicated group (p<0.05). The antipyretic time and sore throat disappearance time, cough disappearance time and general ache disappearance duration in the medicated group were remarkably shorter than those without Lianhua Qingwen powder (p<0.05). The differences in interleukin-6, C-reactive protein and procalcitonin levels before treatment between both groups were not statistically remarkable (p>0.05) and the levels of interleukin-6, C-reactive protein and procalcitonin of both groups of sufferers decreased after treatment. The levels of interleukin-6, C-reactive protein and procalcitonin of patients got injection and took medicine were remarkably lower than those who had no granule (p<0.05). Lianhua Qingwen granule combined with peramivir sodium chloride injection shows a remarkable potency in the treatment of influenza. It can shorten the treatment time and reduce the level of serum inflammatory factors. It is worthy of clinical promotion and application.
